FAQ

I thought you were offering this as a group course. Why the switch to a private, one-on-one format?

I am experiencing even more joy than I thought I would in working with individuals on these tools. I want more of it, so for now I am taking this private.

What is the time commitment of this course?

Apart from our one-on-one instructional and coaching sessions, the amount of time and attention you devote to this tool will directly impact the benefit you receive from using it. Expect to spend an hour or two initially setting up the planner before the first session (video tutorials will be provided to make this easy), roughly two hours a week on structured analysis and planning, and about 20-30 minutes daily setting up your daily page, migrating tasks, and journaling. All time invested will be more than repaid in markedly increased productivity.

What experience or competencies do I need for this course?

No specific competencies are required for this course. However, prior experience with journaling and an openness to self-management and discipline will help.

What materials or equipment do I need?

All materials will be shipped to you in advance of the first session. You are however responsible for ensuring you have an operational computer and reliable internet connection for live video sessions, if we aren’t meeting in person.

What is the format of the sessions?

Initial sessions will focus on instruction in the use of the planner and its worksheets. Successive sessions will increasingly involve coaching as we identify and tackle—together—your greatest challenges to effectiveness.

This sounds so structured. What about spontaneity and flexibility?

Let’s face it, personal and professional growth require discipline and deliberate practice. This vehicle is designed to provide structure for that development. However, as users connect more deeply to their core values and commitments through the exercises in this program, they’ll find themselves increasingly open to meaningful spontaneity in their day, prioritizing people and personal health over goals and tasks. In time, these more nourishing diversions will begin to replace the unwanted and unhelpful habits they wish to rid themselves of.

This sounds really big. How do I know I am ready for it?

If you are feeling the pain, you are ready. If you have an important goal and are doubting whether you can achieve it, you are ready. And I will help you. The beauty of this new one-on-one format is that we get to focus on you, and only you. We’re in it together, every step of the way.
